Biografía:
The Vapors fue una banda de New Wave , de Inglaterra, que existió entre 1979 y 1981. Su mayor éxito fue la canción Turning Japanese, en 1980.
La cancion Turning Japanese es conocida por su supuesta referencia a la masturbación: en su letra el cantante hace un relato de amor. En los Estados Unidos se extendió el rumor que la canción se refería de manera eufemística a la masturbación, y Dave Fenton alternativamente lo confirmaba o rechazaba dejando un margen de duda.
